BARNSTABLE — A Brewster man arraigned Tuesday in Barnstable District Court on a drunken-driving charge reportedly told police he was a terrorist with CIA connections.

Vladko Iliev, 30, pleaded not guilty to operating a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, a marked lanes violation and speeding.

At around 1 a.m. Tuesday, police stopped Iliev in his black Mercedes on Highbank Road in South Yarmouth after seeing him speed and cross over the double yellow line, according to a Yarmouth police report.

After he failed field sobriety tests, police arrested Iliev and took him to the police station, where his "attitude changed from compliant to aggressive," the report says.

Iliev told police he "knew people in the CIA" who would help to dismiss his case, according to the report.

During booking, Iliev said he was "a terrorist and a card-carrying member of al-Qaida," the report says.

Iliev accused police of targeting him because he was "a foreigner," the report says. Iliev was born in Macedonia, according to court records.
